Come Undone
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere between hello and goodbye*
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Wanting to live but waiting to die
Holding on and on and on

No one to blame and no one to accuse
Nothing we could've done better
How can you win when there's so much to lose

I know, I know, Yes I know

I should've seen it in your face
I should've felt it in your touch
I should've heard it in the words
That you didn't say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should've felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, Now that's all
Come Undone

We're getting further away from the shore
Feeling the distance between us
I don't know if I should try anymore
Or just go, or just go, let it go, let it go

I should've seen it in your face
I should've felt it in your touch
I should've heard it in the words
That you didn't say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should've felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, Now that's all
Come Undone

Sometimes the writing is there on the wall
But you just can't make out all the words
Sometimes the truth's right in front of you
But it's screaming too loud to be heard

I should've seen it in your face
I should've felt it in your touch
I should've heard it in the words
That you didn't say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should've felt it in your kisses, lately baby

We were one, Now that's all
Come Undone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Come Undone" by Blessid Union of Souls tell the story of a failing relationship. The singer is caught in between the beginning and end of the relationship, feeling stuck in the middle of nowhere. They want to keep living but are also waiting to die, not knowing what the future may hold. The chorus describes how the singer should have seen the signs that the relationship was falling apart. They should have recognized it in their partner's face, touch, and words left unspoken, but the clues were missed until it was too late. The relationship has unravelled, and the two have come undone.

The verse "we're getting further away from the shore, feeling the distance between us" captures the sense of the passing of time and how the couple's emotional distance is widening.

The singer sounds reflective and introspective, questioning their choices and wondering if they could have done more to save the relationship. Ultimately, the singer accepts that it is over, and they have both come undone.
